Earthbound

Wildfire danced in shadow, obscured by the breathless senses of the night.
On lonely tower trilled tragic songs, weaving the thread of dark desire.
A strange encounter, dim silhouette overshadowed torching lights.
Pale moonlight whispered, let binding of Endless and Royal Blood benighted.
Mother! Mother!
Don’t chase behind the weaverbird song.
Mother! Mother!
Don’t swallow the berry inflamed with devotion.
Mother! Mother!
Don’t chase a shadow to the palace of eventide.
Mother! Mother!
Don’t close your eyes and lead us to die.
White crystal disintegrated,
Like dust, endless in the wind.
Blood comet collapsed from the sky.
A piece of heart remained of lost paradise.
White crystal disintegrated,
In fragments, boundless in the sand.
Blood comet scorched the city night.
A place where man began, a place where man died.
He took her hand and draw her the dusk of his robe.
She spilt her virgin blood, dyed the crimson soils below.
“Come with me, be my queen.
The queen of the night.
The queen of dreams alike.”
“Come with me, be my bride.
Be royal on my side,
Or condemned in eternal hellfire”
Walking down the sunless road to the mother of death.
He begged her for the last time, the queen of nothingness.
“Let our love be foregone, my dear.
Let me be damned to hell, earthbound in agony.”
White crystal disintegrated,
In fragments, boundless in the sand.
Blood comet scorched the city night.
A place where man began, a place where man died.

Curse Of The Impaler
04:49
|
|||
|
Fallen kingdom came to waste,
Weeping twilight suffocated.
Griming fortress, erected in distrust,
Nocturnal desire, feasting in blood lust.
As his army marching on, devouring all creatures alike.
Set fire to mortals, who burned in his delight.
Trekking through the melted snows, a cold trail in ruins
Vivid shadows of the dead, grieving in woe.
Majesty!
Dusk would dissect your flesh and bones
Majesty!
Dawn ascended and washed your tainted soul
False! Monarchy!
Dead to your crippled sovereign
Dead! Impaler!
Impaled on a cross to wither.
Rip and tore the ruby sky
Hear his voiceless whisper,
I can feel his presence coming near,
like ghosts in the trees.
Like the lucid night sky roaming freely
Unburden.
He proclaimed the wind as his instrument
I am death, let me serenade
A dirge in red for all mankind.
Majesty!
Dusk would gather your ashes and burn
Majesty!
Dawn ascended and washed your tainted soul
False! Monarchy!
Dead to your crippled sovereign
Dead! Impaler!
Impaled on a cross to wither.

The Rape Of A Nymph
06:46
|
|||
|
Bequeath a dreadful soul.
Defy a zeal to control.
Submit your airy voice and whimpering light.
Surrender your bewildered pride.
A worthless prayer.
Demure and bitter.
Forswear and foregone
Forsake the nymph
Deprive a breathless plead.
Deflower by the thorns and the snakes of deceit
Damnation In eternal disgrace
Salvation comes with a frozen embrace.
Oh, sorrowful spirit
She shivers in pallid
Forswear and foregone
Forsake the nymph
Tear her asunder.
Dismantle her headless disguise.
Bury her body in motionless.
Deliver into the wilderness.
Forgotten
Forgotten
Abandoned
Obliterated
Forgotten
Forgotten
Abandoned
Obliterated
Her tongue reverberates through the trees.
In the mist, her pallid shadow is fleeting swiftly.
Her once cinder hair now blackened by sorrow
Thrusting an elusive song, haunted in woe

Funeral For Spring
07:18
|
|||
|
Descending to oblivion,
rapid aquiver roads without sight.
Icy rivers coils through the tunnels of waning light.
Peering through darkness, a shadow enthralled.
I wait
And I wait
And I wait for the rape of winter befall.
Devoured by a blindfolded hunger,
Time could not keep him asunder.
A honey kiss sweetens the cold,
Burning passions like ember’s gold.
“You’re a poison without an antidote
My sweet spring pomegranate”
I submit to his frozen grasp
Amidst the binding of winter mass.
And until we meet again, next time
A farewell to green meadow
A farewell to the blissful shines.
I watch over you from a distance.
I pray away the sadness
the melancholic dreams to come
In death of spring

Elcrost Hanoi, Vietnam
Elcrost is a three piece black metal band from Hanoi, Vietnam. Our influences are Opeth, Agalloch, Ulver and Alcest. We are formed in early 2019, started out as a recording project before evolving into a full fledge band.
Elcrost recommends:
If you love Elcrost's sweeping melodic sounds, boy do we have another record for you. Vixenta's brand of post-black is melodic and ethereal as hell!
